New Death Symposium - Branding and Illustration

  • Louis Byrne

I created a series of Illustrations and animations for the New Death Symposium at Leeds International Festival. The Illustrations were made to accompany a set of lectures covering topics including: Transhumanism, Memorialised Social Media and Human Composting. The Illustrations were originally made to be displayed in a print booklet but, following the festival being postponed, will now be shown online. The work was made to be futuristic and sleek, while avoiding cliche representations of death and dying. The design was inspired by user interfaces and digital displays.
